Hey, not everyone in the military shares the exact same view of this conflict. Trust me on this one.

But most of the military doesn't think what is posted in the article above is true, even if you do. Trust me on this one.

The grunts I know care about doing their job and whatever will help accomplish the mission. They see politicians, just about every politician, as an obstacle. They see the news media the same way. And I can't say I blaim them.

I don't see where Washington (or the media) has help this war effort that much. They (the State Dept and the CIA) have pretty much mucked it up and left it to the military to try to clean it up. But They are not giving the military the support it needs except when they see it is politically advantageous to do so. Which is usually after a hugh outcry from the population.

The grunts can see all this, they aren't stupid.
